Compulsion is a small team that's still relatively new to the industry. Most of MS's acquisitions are small teams that rarely get a chance to make a big budget game. Even if the game bombs it's not gonna be costly compared to maintaining a huge studio like Remedy.
Compulsion is newer, much smaller, had much smaller budgets, and is not valued at 112+ million Euro.
What the fuck? Just buy a Playstation. Remedy has had huge issues with funding their games this would resolve that and put them with a pool of teams that make single player narrative experiences.
My bad, I thought we saw a tweet of Shu visiting remedy which is when I assumed it went down
He just went over with a suitcase full of Yen and bought the studio...
Good storytellers. I played WHF through gamepass and I liked the story. The problem with the game was the bugs and mediocre gameplay that was basically tacked on at the last minute because they changed the gameplay midway through the development.
These threads have consistently shown the opposite of that, with people being fine with MS buying Studios, as it just fucks over PlayStation users. But Sony buying studios is the worst, as they'll only support PlayStation afterwards. But you see what you want to see I guess.
Not true. The live action stuff was Remedy their idea. Remember Sam Lake always has been a big fan of this.
I'm willing to bet their all next Xbox projects will be online focused. like bleeding edge
kotaku.com
yeah, just like Ninja Theory. i've never imagined NT would make an online only game lol
The funny thing is that it should be the opposite. At least, I know that when MS buy a studio, they commit to multiplatform to some extent. With Sony though ? Yeah, I can even expect back catalog to be removed.
The game industry always had a double standard regarding exclusivity, including with the press. Microsoft got a lot of shit for paying a 1 year exclusivity for Tomb Raider:
You even had the press asking questions over and over to Microsoft execs "When is it coming to PS4 ???"People Are Pissed That Tomb Raider Is An Xbox Exclusive
This morning's biggest Gamescom news was that Rise of the Tomb Raider, the next big console installment in Lara Croft's adventures, will be an Xbox exclusive. And people are pissed.
Yet you don't see the same thing with Final Fantasy VII. You'll never see Geoff be like "Hey Sony, how long is it exclusive ?"
Wich MS didnt had a hand in at all. Game has been in dev since DmC released and they wanted to make it.
Oh brother.
But Bleeding Edge was far into development before Microsoft bought them.
If you played We Happy Few and Contrast they are both praised for the story stuff and unique setting. They only thing thats letting it down its the polish really. Their vision on games have been really cool.
Don't u think if they wanted to , they would have by now after working closely with then for 10 years ? MS is definitely not interested. I know many fans are interested in that but not MS.
